+549 I am so thankful that Martin Luther King Jr. was born so that, years later, people everywhere will get a three day weekend! And I guess the whole no segregation thing is nice too, amirite?

wasn't his big goal to end racism because he failed at that

Wait...you mean there's a good reason we get a day off on Monday? I thought it was just because. Hm. [kidding for those morons who think I'm serious~]

You should complain! Tell them they're being racist by not letting you celebrate non-segregation day -_-

My school celebrated Robert E. Lee's birthday. That's what it's listed officially as on our calendar.

I didn't have a three day weekend-I don't remember when we ever have

We didn't get a three day weekend, because it's exam week, but yeah. I think the whole diminishing of racism-ness is pretty cool, because hey, we're taking a step in the right direction. No one deserves to suffer because of this really screwed up sense of equality. so to know that's not happening as much anymore, is pretty awesome. :)

My school never gives us national holidays off. We have class six days a week. We also start at 8am and finish at 4pm. Then there is compulsory sport three days a week in addition to P.E and Chapel on Sundays. We never sleep. At least the teachers are generally pretty easy going with the whole ditching class thing. New Zealand private schooling is quite grueling.
